But she learns it isn't that easy.
Since becoming the President of VanBuren Investments, she knows how important it is for her professional and personal life to remain separate from one another.

A great start to this new novella series. I t had everything
I want in a good read – plenty of passion, intermingled with lots of humour, a
strong storyline and captivating characters. Oh and a new book boyfriend to
lust over!
Roxane is sworn off men due to her past loss of her fiancé and
a complicated relationship with her best friend, Stacey’s stepbrother. So no
more looking for love, she is searching for sex and after some disastrous one
night stands (including a five minute man!) Roxane agrees to a night out at a
new swingers club with Stacey. It’s there she first meets the blue eyed
bartender with whom she feels a connection. Nothing comes of that meeting but
then by chance she sees him again at a party the week after and she gets to
know more about him, along with a passionate session.
Roxane is the president of her family business and always
keeps her private life exactly that, private. So much so she gives a different
name when she has her hook ups. Imagine her surprise when she walks into work
to hold some interviews for a new finance officer that the ‘bartender’ is sat
there. After her initial panic, she calms down as he cannot recognise her, as
both times they met she was wearing a mask. Or can he?
I won’t divulge any more of the storyline, but suffice to
say it is a definite attention grabber. Yes there is a small cliff hanger but
it does leave the reader on a HFN ending rather than a WTF ending. I was left with a few questions which
I hope get covered in the next novella (due out in February) such as what will
happen with Parker and what about Jake? Ooh the mind is baffled but eagerly
awaiting in anticipation, if only to have some more Parkerlicious moments! Rawr.
